You can go off people really quickly, you know Hope you have a great day I’ll be driving back after marshalling the 1st round of the BSB at Oulton Park so couldn’t do it …… if I’d been invited Andy
Thankfully I am not significant enough to qualify for such an event. I’ll crack on racing the 748R and maybe the reborn 853.
I had a phone call from Ducati in Italy a couple of weeks ago asking if I was still interested in a new V4 Panigale after hiring the V4s for half a day at last years trackday, I said no, I was sticking with my PP, perhaps I should have said yes and so be put on the nice list.
I always remember meeting ElToro at the MotoGp a few years back....(quite a few years back) he had one of those passes that the celeb's get round his neck....i asked him "can we come in then?" -pointing at the enclosure.... "i dont think so..." - only for the rich and famous!! Funnily enough we got the same treatment at the BMW enclosure at the TT a couple of years back too....get turned away from all the best places i do...! Got my collar felt half way up the stairs to the grandstand also... Seems you have to pay...
You remember that dont Chya! Edit actually ill rephrase that...im delightfully surprised you remembered that!
